Cincinnati Bengals rookie first-round defensive end Shemar Stewart remains unsigned with training camp just around the corner, and reports surfaced earlier this week that Stewart has been practicing with his former college team at Texas A&M. The Cincinnati Enquirer's Kelsey Conway clarifies that Stewart is a Texas native and is training at A&M by himself while using the school's facilities to get himself ready for his first NFL season. The 21-year-old isn't practicing with his old college team and doesn't appear to be considering returning for another college season in 2025, which was previously reported. Stewart is the only first-rounder that remains unsigned as he continues a dispute with the Bengals over guaranteed money. Bengals players will start reporting to camp this weekend, but it remains to be seen if Stewart will be present.

The Seattle Seahawks placed outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, according to Seahawks.com's John Boyle. Nwosu dealt with multiple injuries last year and had offseason knee surgery that general manager and president of football operations John Schneider called "a cleanup of some sort." The 28-year-old former second-rounder by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 out of USC was one of the team's best defensive players before he injured his pectoral muscle in 2023. Nwosu played in only six games in 2023 and six games last year due to knee, thigh and wrist injuries. He had a career-high 66 tackles (42 solo), 9.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 26 QB hits, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in his first year in Seattle in 2022. The Seahawks will be hoping he can be more like that version of himself while staying healthy.

The Detroit Lions placed defensive linemen Alim McNeill (knee) and Mekhi Wingo (knee), offensive tackle Taylor Decker (undisclosed), cornerback Khalil Dorsey (undisclosed), offensive guard Miles Frazier (undisclosed) and linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez (knee) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday, per the team. The Lions also put defensive lineman Josh Paschal (undisclosed) and cornerback Stantley Thomas-Oliver (undisclosed) on the Non-Football Injury list. Defensive lineman Levi Onwuzurike (undisclosed) went on the Reserve/PUP list, and running back Anthony Tyus went on the Non-Football Illness list. Onwuzurike will miss at least the first four games of the regular season, while the others on the PUP can be activated at any time during training camp. McNeil suffered a torn ACL in December and may not be ready for Week 1.

The Tennessee Titans waived running back
Tyrion Davis-Price on Thursday and signed free-agent running back
Jordan Mims in a corresponding move, according to TennesseeTitans.com's Jim Wyatt.
Tony Pollard and
Tyjae Spears are the Titans clear top two RBs going into the 2025 season, so
Julius Chestnut, rookie
Kalel Mullings and Mims will compete for backup work. Davis-Price will most likely pass through waivers unclaimed and will be free to sign with another team looking for more backfield depth heading into training camp. The 24-year-old was originally a third-round pick (93rd overall) by the San Francisco 49ers in 2022 out of LSU, but he did not pan out in the Bay Area in two seasons before playing in one game for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024. He has only 43 rushing attempts in his three seasons for 127 yards and no touchdowns in eight games (no starts).

CBS Sports' Jonathan Jones says that Dallas Cowboys All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons will eventually become the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history after Pittsburgh Steelers pass-rusher T.J. Watt earned those honors for the second time in his career after agreeing to a three-year, $123 million contract extension on Thursday. As things stand now, Parsons is currently scheduled to play the 2025 season on his $24 million fifth-year option. However, all indications are that the Cowboys and Parsons will agree on a new long-term extension before the start of the regular season, which will likely pay him at least $41.5 million per season. The 26-year-old participated in the team's offseason program and should be on the field during training camp this month, regardless of whether an extension has been reached.

Last year, Green Bay Packers running backs
Emanuel Wilson and
Chris Brooks shared backup duties behind bell-cow
Josh Jacobs. But their biggest challenger for the No. 2 job in 2025 comes from
MarShawn Lloyd, writes Packers.com's Mike Spofford. The third-rounder out of USC in 2024 was derailed by injuries in his rookie season, first by a hip injury early in training camp and then a hamstring injury in the preseason. Lloyd injured his ankle in his lone regular-season appearance in Week 2 and then had appendicitis that required emergency surgery when he was on the verge of coming off Injured Reserve. The 5-foot-9, 220-pounder offers an intriguing mix of speed, shiftiness and power that will make him an interesting handcuff option for fantasy managers that draft Jacobs. In addition to beating out Wilson and Brooks, Lloyd will need to solve ball-security issues he had in college.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver
Keandre Lambert-Smith was targeted by quarterback
Justin Herbert multiple times in the first training camp practice on Thursday, including a touchdown in the back of the end zone during 7-on-7 drills. Especially with
Mike Williams now retiring, everyone in the team's receivers room is going to get a long look this summer. Lambert-Smith, 22, was taken in the fifth round in April after the Bolts went with receiver
Tre Harris in the second round.
Ladd McConkey is the team's unquestioned WR1 after a huge rookie season, but Harris, Lambert-Smith and Quentin Johnson will battle for playing time on the outside in 2025 with Williams hanging up his cleats. Lambert-Smith had 50 catches for 981 yards and eight touchdowns at Auburn last year and is worth keeping an eye on in dynasty/keeper formats.

The Baltimore Ravens placed safety Ar'Darius Washington (Achilles) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday after he tore his Achilles in May. Washington won't be practicing with the Ravens during training camp or playing in preseason games, but the 25-year-old defensive back is holding out hope that he can rejoin the defense late in the 2025 season. The former undrafted free agent out of TCU joined the Ravens in 2021 and has played four seasons with the team. Washington saw by far his most playing time in 2024 and finished with 64 tackles (45 solo), one sack, five tackles for loss, his first two career interceptions, eight pass breakups and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games (10 starts). There's no guarantee that he will make it back later this season to play for the Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens quarterback
Lamar Jackson finished the 2024 season with career-highs in passing yards (4,172), completions (316) and touchdown passes (41) while throwing only four interceptions on 474 attempts. He added 915 yards on the ground and passed Michael Vick for all-time rushing yards by a QB. Jackson is scary good as a passer and a runner, which is why he'll be one of the first QBs taken in fantasy drafts in the early rounds. BaltimoreRavens.com's Clifton Brown writes that Jackson is set up for even more success in 2025 going into his third season with Todd Monken running the offense. Baltimore became the first team in NFL history with 40 passing TDs and 20 rushing TDs in the same year in 2024. They were also the first team to throw for at least 4,000 yards and rush for at least 3,000. There's the potential for Jackson to take his game to yet another level.

Los Angeles Chargers second-round wide receiver
Tre Harris agreed to terms on his four-year rookie deal on Thursday, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Harris didn't report to training camp when the rest of the team's rookies did earlier this week, but now that he's under contract, he can join the rest of his teammates at practice. The 23-year-old was the 55th overall pick in April and should contribute immediately in his first year in the NFL, especially after Thursday's announcement that deep threat
Mike Williams will hang up his cleats. Harris impressed the coaching staff during OTAs and minicamp and will now look to keep that momentum going as he tries to become the team's WR2 behind
Ladd McConkey. He could have some deep-league fantasy appeal as a deep threat for quarterback
Justin Herbert, but he's probably going to be inconsistent in L.A.'s run-first offense.

Detroit Lions wide receiver
Jameson Williams has been the subject of frequent praise from the team's coaching staff this offseason, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. The 24-year-old Williams has been the subject of some trade speculation this offseason, as he's entering the fourth year of his rookie contract and could hit free agency following the 2026 season. 2024 was the best season of his career, as he finished with 58 catches for 1,001 receiving yards and eight total touchdowns in 15 games played. Williams is an explosive big-play threat, but he's been a boom/bust receiver in fantasy because he hasn't commanded a huge target share in Detroit. It's early in the offseason to predict how different his role will be in 2025, but he appears to be off to a good start.
